In June 2010, the Illinois Board of Education, along with 42 other states adopted the Common Core Standards. The new standards define the knowledge and skills students should have by grade level. These standards are aligned with college and work based expectations, include rigorous content and application of knowledge through higher-order thinking skills, build upon strengths and lessons of current state standards, and are research based.
